FTR, this is the part of the ruling...that is somewhat different from previous rulings, which could cause Walker and his tea-party wanksters to squirm and dance a wee-bit before not just the WI SC, but the US SC. Guess we'll see, but it's fun to watch nonetheless. Heh.

Quote:

In his 27-page ruling, the judge said sections of the law "single out and encumber the rights of those employees who choose union membership and representation solely because of that association and therefore infringe upon the rights of free speech and association guaranteed by both the Wisconsin and United States Constitutions."

Colas also said the law violates the equal protection clause by creating separate classes of workers who are treated differently and unequally.
